MyoWare 2.0 Goes Wireless
The brand new MyoWare 2.0 Wireless Shield is now available! With it we also have a new programmer board for your ESP32 WROOM Modules.
Hello everyone and welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun ELectronics! We have two new products for you this week, and it starts with the brand new MyoWare 2.0 Wireless Shield! This shield for the ever popular MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor adds wireless connectivity thus reducing any potential noise you might receive while trying to read or interpret data being transferred via a USB cable. Following that, we have a new programmer in the form of the Espressif Module Prog 1 perfect for flashing your ESP32 WROOM Modules without any soldering required! Now, let's jump in and take a closer look at both of this week's new products.
Unrestricted movement thanks to no cables? My oh, MyoWare!
The MyoWare® 2.0 Wireless Shield is designed to take in readings from the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor and wirelessly transmit sensor data with the ESP32-WROOM! This shield also includes a built-in LiPo battery to remotely power the muscle sensor and the ESP32 module. The Wireless Shield is equipped with snap connectors and low-profile pogo pins on the board, so you can easily stack it on the top side of the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor. Simply select a Power Source and flip the power switch to the ON position to give the sensor all the power it needs to work its myoelectric magic.
The Espressif Module Prog-1 is your complete solution for programming ESP32 modules. This programmer eliminates soldering by using convenient spring pins for a secure, swappable connection. This progammer supports the ESP32-WROOM-32, S2, S3, and C6 variant models.
That's it for this week. As always, we can't wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or let us know on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Please be safe out there, be kind to one another! We'll be back with more new products next week so make sure to check back then. Happy hacking!
